More than 750 Million Anti Malaria Treatments for Adults and Children Provided Without Profit

Since 2001, working with a range of organizations, the Novartis Malaria Initiative – one of the pharmaceutical industry’s largest access-to-medicine programs – has provided more than 750 million treatments for adults and children, without profit, to more than 60 countries, contributing to a dramatic reduction of malaria deaths in Africa.

Rare Diseases Are Not That Rare

People affected by rare diseases often face extraordinary barriers. They can find it difficult to get the right diagnosis, expert advice or treatment and support. It’s challenging – especially when they are trying to cope with the uncertainty of an often progressive, devastating and debilitating disease.
